Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first and most common mistake with the Old Testament law is to ignore where it appears. Israel arrives at Sinai in chapter 19 of Exodus, but their elaborate deliverance from Egypt takes place in chapters 3–14. If the law were a prerequisite for salvation, then we would expect to see Moses in Egypt making a public service announcement: Hey, everyone, good news! God plans to set you free from slavery to Pharaoh.
#2 The climax of a chiasm is not always found in the middle, but the turning point of the narrative is. The flood narrative in Genesis 6–9 is an example of mirror imaging on a smaller scale. The symmetrical ebb and flow of the story matches the rise and fall of the water.
#3 The Israelites journeyed to Sinai several times, and the descriptions of the journey are similar each time. God provided them with manna and quail, and they requested water from the rock. After Sinai, the Israelites fought the Amalekites.
#4 The first part of the journey for the Hebrews was to leave Egypt and find a new home. They were a mixed multitude, refugees and former slaves, seeking a better life. They left Sinai as a well-organized army, registered and marching tribe by tribe.

The first and most common mistake with the Old Testament law is to ignore where it appears. Israel arrives at Sinai in chapter 19 of Exodus, but their elaborate deliverance from Egypt takes place in chapters 3–14. If the law were a prerequisite for salvation, then we would expect to see Moses in Egypt making a public service announcement: Hey, everyone, good news! God plans to set you free from slavery to Pharaoh.

The climax of a chiasm is not always found in the middle, but the turning point of the narrative is. The flood narrative in Genesis 6–9 is an example of mirror imaging on a smaller scale. The symmetrical ebb and flow of the story matches the rise and fall of the water.

#3

The Israelites journeyed to Sinai several times, and the descriptions of the journey are similar each time. God provided them with manna and quail, and they requested water from the rock. After Sinai, the Israelites fought the Amalekites.

The first part of the journey for the Hebrews was to leave Egypt and find a new home. They were a mixed multitude, refugees and former slaves, seeking a better life. They left Sinai as a well-organized army, registered and marching tribe by tribe.

The Israelites were constantly hungry and thirsty during their journey to Mount Sinai. When they complained, God provided them with food and water, and they continued to trust him.

#9

God told Moses to raise his staff and stretch out his hand over the sea, dividing it so that the Israelites could pass through on dry ground. He would harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they would pursue the Israelites.

The Israelites become desperate for water after traveling for three days, and they begin to grumble against Moses. But God provides them with food from heaven, which they learn to depend on daily.

#11

God taught me a similar lesson when I was married. I was still getting used to living on my own, and I was nervous about money. One day, I went shopping for food to make a spaghetti dinner. I didn’t buy any bread, and I felt poor. But a neighbor gave me French bread, and I realized that God was my provider.

#12

The people’s basic question, Who’s in charge. was answered when Moses was given authority by God and supported by a network of leaders serving under him. The resulting clarity provided security for the people, helping them learn to trust God and his appointed leaders.

#13

After forty years as a fugitive, Moses thought God was making a mistake when he asked him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. But God’s response taught him an important lesson: It doesn’t matter who Moses is, only that God is with him.

#14

God revealed his personal name to Moses at the burning bush, and he was invited to address him directly.
